You have all the inside information i would think you would be making millions at a major university with your knowledge.
Personally, I think the reason Chief is so down on RR is RR ignored him. LOL.

I don't think Adams will be the only committed recruit this happens to unless some maneuvering is done i.e. grey shirts.

We normally beat out FCS and sun belt teams for recruits under RR so this would be a major coup

Somewhere in this thread was a comment about the kid being small and RR's inability to recruit. I hope we're able to keep him if he's really 5'8" 210. That's a brickhouse

So your already open arm that he going to choose UCLA over Arizona In a heart beat?
First of all, What does Chip Kelly see in Irby that RR is seeing?
Second, Which school give him the best option regardless of prestige, school name and the coach?
Third, Early Signing Day is tomorrow, So 3 day's we will know were he stand in his commitment.

Kid is huge on academics, he had a tough time choosing us over Ivy League schools. UCLA >>>>> Arizona in academics and it's close to home for him. If he chooses Arizona over UCLA if that is a legit offer then we should shower him with praise his entire career.

Should know more after early signing day. I think we are holding out hope Pledger flips, but I think it's a long shot. Too bad he's not a little bigger otherwise he would be a 5 star. His tape on defense is impressive

He's an early enroller along with DT Mykee Irving, so it looks like if they work they'll see the field immediately

By fans or Pundits or Chiefy? I like some of the pieces. The big WR from Cali is a steal I think and and I like Peters, Smith, Young and love Young and Issaiah Johnson. I think Marcus will surprise and Bailey will add depth to the OLIne next year and challenge for time.

I'll give you that. A few classes like that and someone who could coach them and we'd be challenging for the MWC championship in no time.

According to Scheer, Irby is the only one we're waiting on at the moment, and has 2 days to sign.
Overall i'm very happy with the class. We added some size and hopefully dept to just about every position. We technically have 5 new Offensive lineman coming in next year if you include the 2 transfers. We added size the the WR, DT, & CB positions.

Question for Whatisee. You mention 2 OL transfers. I am aware of Lukusa (spelling?), the big OT from Mich ST. Who is the other transfer?

I like our class. I think these guys will impress just like this year's frosh. Maybe a bold prediction but I think we win the south. 10-2 season with losses at Utah and at UCLA.

The assistant coach I knew at Cienega left but my son works at Cienega/played for the previous staff and knows a few of the current coaches so I'll see if I can get an update on Joiner. Last he was told Jamarye was considering changing positions to WR (and later it was reported in local media he wants to run track and doesn't think he can do that and play QB) and he was looking at ASU and a few other schools (Oregon?).
